Version: ZoneAlarm Security 8.0.298
"Not worth to download for advanced users"
Pros: 1. Works as basic firewall
2. Informs every inbound or outbound program requestCons: 1. Less features than windows firewall
Summary: If you are looking for firewall than windows firewall is much better than this application or try some other app but not this one
2. No expert rule in free version
3. Blocks uploading of Movies, Mp3 and other apps for any Bittorrent client or Port sharing applications.
This application is just worth a penny or can be quite expensive if you are a PTP / BitTorrent user who wants to download Mp3, Ebooks or movies and concerned about ratios. Sometimes free lunch are quite expensive when product is available as "freeware" .
I just can't write anything more for this application as there is hardly any feature to comment for. I am going to uninstall and swithching to another app.
Bottom Line: If you are downloading anything through PTP applications then it blocks uploading it as there is no port based expert rule to open for your peers. When I asked a query in their forum I got this reply "Not possible with the free version of ZoneAlarm.Only with the paid versions you can open specific incoming ports.
". Still if you don't believe me before downloading this application I would recommend you to visit the ZA forum (http://forums.zonelabs.com/showthread.php?p=270956&posted=1#post270956)
